The Lowdown
Gareth Evans’ side will be looking to continue their recent vein of form, which has seen the wee Hibees go unbeaten in their last six league matches.
That run includes fives win – beating Edinburgh rivals Hearts twice, Aberdeen, Celtic and most recently Hamilton.
Josh Landers scored the only goal of the game as the young Hibees ground out a 1-0 win over Hamilton last time out.
Several of the lads also featured midweek for the U19s that took on Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Youth League.
Steve Kean’s side fought bravely against the German giants and went ahead through Jacob Blaney’s header in the first half. But BVB fought back scoring twice in the final twenty minutes to turn the game on its head and knock the young Hibees out of the competition.
Rudi Molotnikov, Jacob MacIntyre, Owen Hastie and Ethan Laidlaw all played against Dortmund on Tuesday night and are eligible for selection on Friday.
The Hosts
Dundee United come into this one struggling for form. They have lost their last four matches in the league, falling short against Rangers (4-0), Motherwell (6-3), Hearts (2-0) and Celtic (4-1).
The last time the two sides met in Dundee, the Young Terrors ran out 2-1 winners back in August.
The match takes place at Gussie Park with a 7pm kick-off.
